Two former Bachelorettes,Hannah BrownandKaitlyn Bristowe, have wonDancing With the Starsin back-to-back victories.DWTSprofessional dancer Cheryl Burke is concerned that their consecutive wins could lead to a conspiracy about the show only allowing ABC personalities to win.
Cheryl revealed onPretty Messed Up, the podcast she co-hosts with AJ McLean and Rene Elizondo Jr., that she even spoke toDWTSproducers about not casting any else fromThe Bachelorettein order to avoid controversy going forward (viaCheat Sheet).
That’s not to say that she isn’t happy for Kaitlyn’s win, though, especially as Kaitlyn’s partner, Artem Chigvintsev, had never won the competition before.

Stars from another reality show may be banned from DWTS
If Cheryl gets her way, Bachelorettes may not be the only reality stars banned fromDancing With the Stars.
Show host Tyra Banks reportedly has her own ideas about who should and should not be allowed to compete on the show.OK!reported in October thatTyra, whotook over the hosting gigearlier this year, doesnot want any Real Housewivescompeting on the celebrity dance competition.
“Tyra is the new boss and made it clear that she didn’t want any more Housewives in her ballroom,” a source said.
“She thinks the show needs to aim higher and only book the ladies after everyone else has passed.”
While several Real Housewives are said to have expressed their interest in competing onDWTS, they may have to wait.
While the source said it’s possible that they may be allowed on the show in the future, Tyra reportedly “doesn’t want any of them right now.”
According to the source, Tyra allegedly doesn’t think that the Real Housewives are famous enough to be on the show.
“Tyra wants reality stars like Carole Baskin from Tiger King not a decade-old franchise that no one talks about anymore,” they said.
“If Tyra thought for one minute that the Housewives would get her show ratings, she would welcome them to the dance floor in a second.”
